This morning, I had the honor of attending the Memorial Day Ceremony hosted by AMVETS Post 227 and the American Legion. It was a meaningful time of remembrance as we gathered to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

A special thank you to keynote speaker Kenny Wallace for his heartfelt remarks and for reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day. Events like these are an important reminder that freedom is never free, and we must never forget those who gave everything in service to our nation.

Grateful to everyone who organized and participated in today’s ceremony and to all of our veterans and military families for their service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸
